flow_kni_rx_burst
Hello
I tried to explain memory-leak via graph
<a href="https://pastebin.ubuntu.com/p/s4h5psqtgZ/">https://pastebin.ubuntu.com/p/s4h5psqtgZ/</a>
scenario :
1. kni_alloc allocates 32 units (kni->alloc_q) then completes initialization
2. rte_kni_rx_burst receive 1 packet from kernel. 1 of 31 units is filled by
message, 31 units is empty but it is allocated in kni->alloc_q.
3. rte_kni_rx_burst then allocates another 32 units i dont know why but there
is a comment like this."If buffers removed, allocate mbufs and then put them
into alloc_q" ( How to tests buffers are removed or not? there is not any query
in code)
4. 1 message mbuf is transmited via rte_eth_tx_burst .
5. 1 message mbuf never back to freed and back to original memory pool. 31+32
units memory act like in use but they are not. never back to original memory
pool
6. this cycle goes on to 2 .
? Why there is newer allocation in rte_kni_rx_burst i dont know.
? I tried to free 1 packet via rte_pktmbuf_free but sometimes corrupt to pool
like below. sometimes 1 packet/unit back to original memory pool
[UseCount_mpool:65][avail_mpool:10334]
[UseCount_mpool:4294967135][avail_mpool:10560]
? In my view, after transmiting message to mbufs should be in to kni->free_q.
? in my view, there is missing query in func kni_allocate_mbufs to test alloc_q
is empty or not.
Best regards.
